Pip is now Finn, a reference to his fisherman brother-in-law/father and his seafaring childhood. He is
introduced to the cold mistress of his heart by an over-painted, unstable elderly woman spurned on her wedding day.
His ruin is her revenge on all men. Dickens is famous for his social commentary and biting observation, this script and
the lead actors lack the witty edge and insight of the original.

This production is beautifully staged and lushly presented, badly marred by a gratuitous crotch shot that suggests the
director was more interested to photographing a woman's body than telling the story of flawed human beings.

This film
breaks the cardinal laws of film-making, its characters need to speak their motivations, and explain their emotions, explicitly, and
when a film maker needs to take such drastic steps to explain the story, then the film falls.
